Yesterday, I wrote about the bone-headed comments made by American secretary of state John Kerry regarding the Paris attack by ISIS. Kerry said that the Paris attacks were different from the attack in Paris on Charlie Hebdo magazine earlier this year. Kerry commented that the Charlie Hebdo attack had a certain "legitimacy" -- no not legitimacy but "rationale" that Kerry understood. In just two sentences, Kerry revealed that he blames the Charlie Hebdo attack on cartoonists who "offended" Moslems sufficiently enough to be rational targets for death. It is a sad commentary on the delusional idiocy of the Obamacrats in power in the USA.
Today, however, I think it is worth focusing on the reaction of the media to Kerry's comments. I have seen or read multiple articles explaining what Kerry "really meant". These articles try to explain that Kerry just meant that the first attack could be understood as stemming from a specific anger at what the cartoonists had done while the new attacks were just random shootings. For the most part, the liberal mainstream media actually bought into Kerry's assignment of blame on the murdered cartoonists for offending the terrorists.
The media response is, of course, both dishonest and disgusting. Even if one uses the perverted logic employed by Kerry and the media that somehow the cartoonists are to blame for their own murder by terrorists, these gurus of the left leave out some very important facts. Most important, the Charlie Hebdo attack included a random murder by shooting of four or five people who were shopping at a supermarket. Because it was a kosher market, the people killed were random Jews living in Paris. Even the media and Kerry wouldn't have the nerve to call the killing of random Jews in France "legitimate" or "rational". Now, since those killings don't fit Kerry's narrative, they are ignored.
The United States ought to be condemning what happened in Paris in the strongest possible terms. So far, the best we have heard from president Obama is that the Paris attack was a "temporary setback". I have to wonder whether Obama would feel the same if it were his family and friends who were shot by terrorists at random. America needs to stand for what it right and to condemn what is wrong in the world. It is a terrible thing that we have leaders who see a rationale for terrorist acts.
